(a more technical expanation from Cisco of the problem
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/56.html)

Basiclly.. a few banks (and other people ) are completely blocking _all_
ICMP messages and "making it so a few people can't see their web pages
properly". Its been a problem for ages for example with the ASB (you can't
see all their pages properly if you are going thru a GRE tunnel which
fragments packets)

User Caused problem nope.. Bank Caused problem yes (as their IT people seem
not to know about how to setup their FW's properly)

(all my own opinion)

Thanks
Craig
